Simplistic Quotes

Now that virtually every career is an option for ambitious girls, it can no longer be considered regressive or reactionary to reintroduce discussion of marriage and motherhood to primary education. We certainly do not want to return to the simplistic duality of home economics classes for girls and wood shop for boys.
Camille Paglia

Marriage, Education, Home

Among the many problems with taking the Bible literally is it reduces the most mysterious and complex of realities to simple - even simplistic - terms. Yes, scripture speaks of fire and damnation and eternal bliss, but the Bible is the product of human hands and hearts, and much of the imagery is allegorical, not meteorological.
Jon Meacham

Simple, Human, Fire

I have been accused of being a very simplistic, very lyrical player, and that's okay. That just comes from the blues, which is my background. But every day you wake up and transcend. You can't ever rest on your laurels.
Carlos Santana

Rest, Blues, Player

Terms like 'good' and 'bad' are extremely simplistic in what is a far more complex situation.
David Icke

Jo Brand

Life, Women, Great

Very often some of the religious miracle plays you see on television can be very corny, I find. And so simplistic.
Robert Duvall

Find, Often, Religious

Sometimes when I write lyrics there are images in them, usually on a quite simplistic level, like colors. But most often music comes first and then later I sit down with visual people and we chat about what we want to do. I don't look at myself as a visual artist. I make music.
Bjork

Music, Down, Sometimes

I think it's a little simplistic to explain a work through the psychology of its author. In other words, that Haneke has emotional problems, so I don't have to take his films seriously. By using this argument, the viewer retreats from the challenges of the film.
Michael Haneke

Work, Emotional, Words

I don't think it's the job of theatre at the moment to provide political propaganda; that would be simplistic. We have to explore our situation further before we will understand it.
Edward Bond

Job, Political, Understand

Real, Big, Easy

Love, Him, Fans

A long time ago, I became aware that many of us have a tendency to lump nature into simplistic categories, such as what we consider beautiful or ugly, important or unimportant. As human a thing as that is to do, I think it often leads us to misunderstand the respective roles of life forms and their interconnectedness.
Gary Larson

Life, Nature, Time

Listen, it's not nice to have your mum kill herself, that is difficult. But at the end of the day, it happened a long time ago. My mother was, I hope, not the reason that I have been successful. It's not as simplistic as 'My mum killed herself; I've got to prove myself.' I was very lucky that my parents took an interest in me.
Stuart Rose

Time, Hope, Nice

Ed Miliband

Working, Old, View

Thom Mayne

Art, Political, Away

Billy Sheehan

Music, Again, While

Kevin Kline

Innocent, Level, Dogs

John Hull

Alone, Cannot, Beginning

In my rational mind, I know... that is a very simplistic way of looking at it, but when there is violence of that kind, it challenges my faith. I still can't say that I totally understand why - why that is allowed to happen.
Linda Vester

Faith, Mind, Happen
